  1. I wouldn't be surprised if Fields developed into something special under Tomlin.
  2. We all have. I'm over 2 decades in. Although unlike him I didn't dip out through some of the worst seasons recently. He'll live same as any of us.
  3. For someone who is barely around you sure seem to have plenty of time to skulk around here pooing posts. Hope your night gets better bro!
  4. Thank goodness for Evero and this defense.
  5. Actually a pretty good representation of this organization the last 4 years.
  6. Jets 4.1 yards per carry. Panthers 2.2 yards per carry. Aren't we supposed to be establishing a hard nosed run game?
  7. In actuality the true Karen is one who constantly tries to police how other fans follow their team.
  8. Injury prevention is the obvious and so far main company line being used. Which to a point does make sense. If we were a team that has been consistently competing and has been well ran it would sell better to the fanbase. However we are until proven otherwise the exact opposite. But if the season doesn't start off well and things look dicey do we sit starters then too? Do we just forfeit the season?
  9. Man. Darin Gantt has become quite the sycophant. Tepper must pay well.
  10. Most starters are out minus a few of the receivers.
  11. Yes sir he did. Emphatically so. Created a thread and everything. But don't mention it because he will get pretty upset.
  12. Maybe it's you that needs a break.
  13. "We aren't playing for anything this year" Isn't that what most people said in agreement regarding the 2023 Houston Texans who were one inexplicable play away from the first overall pick the season before? There is no reason this team cannot at least compete in our division. No Brees no Ryan no Brady. Give me a break with this hit dog mentality around here. You brought in a new staff a different GM talking about a new mentality. Get out there and start building a new culture. And if you QB isn't getting it done. Next man up! Keep pounding.
  14. Gantt is digging deep for fluff eh? As an aside everything I've read about Armanti on a personal level has been impressive. I wish him the best.
  15. I agree it's lose/lose for Canales. Which is why I've cautioned all the complete scapegoating of Reich just as people did with Rhule. But coach Canales took the job. He might be able to avoid the ire for another few weeks but by the end of September the flood gates of criticism will be wide open. He will be battle tested early.
  16. With the putrid football I've had to observe the last few years I'll take the Cam Newton mentality from a #1 pick QB who wants to be on the field every single time versus one who says "Sure thing coach whatever you say" when told he can yuck it up on the sideline while pocketing 38 million dollars.
  17. Regardless of what different people think is the better preseason path the Panthers have set the wheels in motion and raised the stakes by operating as if they are ahead of the curve. If they look unprepared and inept in week 1 the criticism will only be more pronounced. Not playing well at minimum is simply not an option.
  18. Looks like I'm occupying a vast amount of space inside his mind. If he doesn't chill the state of North Carolina is going to try to saddle me with paying taxes on that. With all the recent posts he's made has he even expressed a football related opinion of his own? All I've seen are complaints about others. Maybe he should take the advice he's given others about going out and touching grass.
  19. It's good we can find common ground and agree. The end result we seek is the same minus one or two people who want to watch the world burn lol. But just as you say the more likely outcome is incremental improvement. That's acceptable too. I just don't want to see anymore of our team getting the doors blown off or laboring to score boring field goals to the point our defense eventually stops giving maximum effort. Hopefully in a few months we will all have the answer we seek. A competitive hard nosed football team and a competent offense.
  20. That's all this discussion has become is putting those with opposing views on a corner. To the point you have some folks trying to identify personality defects in those that differ from their views on the matter over disagreement. You say you don't think playing starters in the preseason will have much of an impact. I accept that opinion. I respond to that opinion with the fact we had very tense back and forth arguments about details like this last year when our starters actually played in preseason and looked awful. The company line was it didn't matter it was all vanilla and things would uptick when the season started. Now nobody wants to discuss that anymore. Now the the line is we don't need to play starters in the preseason at all. I am very skeptical that is the solution to not only our pitiful win/loss % the last several years but our distinct lack of a team culture. I'm in wait and see mode.
